Genesis 39:4

So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. ¹  Potiphar appointed Joseph ²  overseer of his household and put him in charge ³  of everything he owned.

Ge 15:2; Ge 18:3; Ge 19:19; Ge 24:2; Ge 32:5; Ge 33:8,10; Ge 39:21; Ge 39:22; Ge 41:40,41; 1Sa 16:22; Ne 2:4,5; Pr 14:35; Pr 16:7; Pr 17:2; Pr 22:29; Pr 27:18; Ac 20:28

¹ sn The Hebrew verb translated became his personal attendant refers to higher domestic service, usually along the lines of a personal attendant. Here Joseph is made the household steward, a position well-attested in Egyptian literature.

² tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “put into his hand.”
